I'd like to put a short(ish) mountain laurel against my foundation, where it would get maybe 2-3 hours of morning sun, and have read the the "bridesmaid" variation might be a good one. Does anyone have this and care to comment on how it grows? Easy? Fussy? Is it really no taller than 5 feet? Also, I cannot for the life of me find where to buy one. I'm in NW Connecticut. Any suggestions on where to look? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Jeelan, I'm not familiar with 'Bridesmaid' but if you want to see some terrific Mt. Laruels ... propagated and grown onsite ... and learn all you need to know about this shrub, you should visit Broken Arrow Nursery in Hamden, CT. It's worth the trip from anywhere. You can also check out their online catalogue. The owner, Dick Jaynes, is a famous breeder of Kalmia latifolia and has introduced many varieties at the nursery. You will even find some of his newest "creations" at the end of his front yard, which is right next to the selling floor. We've bought several trees, shrubs and evergreens from this nursery. Broken Arrow grows and propagates much of what they sell. Years ago I worked at another nursery, and I can tell you honestly that the product here is some of the best I've seen. In honor of my mom, who loved Mt. Laurels above all other shrubs, we bought his Kalmia latifolia 'Minuet'. Here's a photo of it from 2012: Molie |
Just want to second the recommendation to visit Broken Arrow -- THE source for all things mountain laurel (and lots of other plants, too -- the largest hardy magnolia collection on the East Coast, I think I read?) It's worth the trip. I think they open the first week of April usually. I don't know 'Bridesmaid' either but found this on the UConn hort website (nothing about height, unfortunately): "'Bridesmaid' - Dark pink buds open to reveal a bicolor bloom on this plant. The outer edges of the flower are pink, while the center is light pink to white. With age, the corolla edge rolls back, making each flower look like a pink porcelain plate. The foliage is dark green and leaf spot resistant. It blooms excessively in sun, so it is best situated in part shade to strike a better balance between shoot growth and flower production." I noticed that Broken Arrow doesn't have it listed as one of their offerings in their online catalog, but I'd give them a call anyway and ask about it. If they don't have it, they can probably tell you where to get it (or get it for you). |
Thanks for the Broken Arrow referral--I emailed them, and while they did, in fact, develop Bridesmaid, they don't have it this year and don't know of anyone else who would. It looks like they might be worth a visit, though. The search for a short, shade loving (yet flowering) shrub continues... |
OK, thread jumping a little LOL... Some one asked in another thread about what is on your Spring buying list... AND I think I "need" Mt.Laurles now! |

Has anyone used the Ultra Soil from The Mulch Company? I'd be curious what the results were. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have never used it and don't know anything about it except for what I just read on their website. Try digging into a mound of it a few days after a good rain. From the description, it sounds like it may be pretty water-retentive. It all depends on the relative amounts and specifics of the ingredients. Also be aware that the bark fines are going to rot, causing settling, possibly affecting nitrogen levels for a period of time, and changing drainage characteristics over time. But, like I said, these are just ideas, not anything based on experience with this particular product. |

Are You Worried Your Partner Will Cheat...Again?
How can I be sure infidelity won't happen again?
It was probably quite painful and difficult to discover that your partner was having an affair. If you two decided to stay together and rebuild trust, you are aware that the healing process can take time, patience and care. No matter where you are in this relationship rebuilding process, you might be experiencing jealous fears.
You may remember vividly the raw and intense emotions that came up for you around your partner's infidelity. Perhaps you even made a promise to yourself that you will not tolerate your mate cheating again. You are forgiving him or her this time but have made it clear that there won't be a "next time."
Even with these firm boundaries set and the strides you two have made to improve your relationship and begin to turn trust around, it could be that you are frequently worried and jealous.
If so, you aren't the only one who has felt this way!
The first step toward feeling ease and opening up to love and rebuilt trust in your relationship is to be gentle with yourself. Criticizing yourself for mistrust or a jealous habit will not point you toward letting go of the fear.
Ric feels like he's followed all of the steps you're supposed to take after your partner has cheated. Carrie, his girlfriend, has taken full responsibility for the affair she had a few months ago and has expressed to him many times that she is willing to do whatever is necessary to earn Ric's trust again and rebuild their relationship.
It does seem to Ric like Carrie is trying hard to prove to him that she is trustable and committed to their relationship. But no matter how good he is starting to feel about loving Carrie, Ric cannot seem to get past the gnawing fears in the pit of his stomach.Carrie had an affair with a business associate and now just about everyday she is at work, Ric worries that she will cheat again.
When you trust someone-- especially your mate in a love relationship-- you take a risk.
In order to trust and be trusted, you have to put yourself "out there" to a certain degree and assume that your partner will uphold promises and commitments you two have made to one another. When turning trust around after infidelity, if you want to stay with the same person, you are still going to have to take risks.
But rather than blindly or naively trusting no matter what, we advise you to take conscious and aware risks. Base your willingness to trust (and rebuild trust) on the moments you are experiencing right now. Allow yourself to see and acknowledge what's happening in your present moment.
Learn to stay present.
Especially after experiencing the betrayal of an affair, it can be difficult to stay present. Perhaps the events around your mate's cheating seem lodged in your mind. When you continue to give your attention to those past events that are so upsetting, it is understandable that jealous fears can develop and grow.

Brinsley Tyrrell -- Tape 2:B
Recorded by Sandra Perlman Halem, May 3, 1990
Transcribed by Kathleen S. Medicus
Interviewer: OK, give your name, address, and your age
If I can remember my age. My name's Brinsley Tyrrell, my address is [removed for privacy], Freedom Township, Ohio, which is actually the area that the God came from.
Interviewer: What message do you want to leave here?
Well, I don't know that I want to leave a message as much as remember some of the things that were happening, or that happened to me or that I felt during that—that time. I just started teaching here two years before, and in fact during May, I had a glass student, his name was Nickson, I can't remember his other name.
Interviewer: Nick, right.
He had come here from Berkley to get away from the politics, staying in my house. I think he was in some ways…
Interviewer: Henry Nickson!
Interviewer: Black glass student…
Yes, he died a couple of years later, cleaning one of those gas station signs, and he fell off it.
When it first happened, I was working at home in my studio and listening to the radio; I suppose I've never believed the radio ever since [laughs]. And I really didn't dare go near campus Saturday and Sunday, partly because I was an immigrant here from England, I'd been arrested four or five times outside U.S. air bases and outside the U.S. Embassy protesting—protesting the stationing of nuclear weapons in England and protesting the Cuban missile crisis. And I had some experience of unruly crowds and I knew that if I went to campus I would lose my temper. The Monday of May the 4th, University was open so I went down to class. That was in the Lincoln Building on Gougler Street and it was guarded by two or three Guardsmen in full gear. It was a very bizarre situation because the students who were coming to class and I as the teacher couldn't really understand what the Guardsman was doing outside and neither could the Guardsman understand. And all the morning, we—all the morning we discussed sculpture as we were wont to do in that class. And then left about a quarter to twelve to get up to campus for a meeting that I think everybody on the University knew was going to happen, whether it had been organized or not.
When I got there, I went to the area behind Van Deusen which, at that time, was terraced with orchard trees and things, joined a number of the—the other Art School faculty and some students and a large crowd of people watching the most bizarre situation I've ever seen with a group of students gathered at one end and a large group of Guardsmen, and armored troop carriers, and Jeeps, etc., down the other end. And we watched—we watched the Guard go up the hill and vanish over the top of the hill at which point they were invisible to us. And then I, in my innocence, heard a group of firecrackers go off. And I suppose it wasn't 'til ten, fifteen minutes later that at least the part of the crowd I was in sort of realized what had happened. We saw the Guard come down in a rather hurried fashion. But then, people from the other side of the hill came down, in tears, incoherent, crying. I remember a Vietnam veteran coming down—big, hulking guy, crew cut—screaming at the Guard, calling them toy soldiers, calling them a disgrace to their uniform. And in a very chaotic way, I think everybody left campus. All of that's fairly well documented. All of that.
I suppose it's about two days after the shootings, when I start to get students turning up on my doorstep, pretty incoherent, bursting into tears. There was one person whose name I don't remember who'd been in my class who came back. His parents had not allowed him in the house, screamed through the letterbox at him that they never wanted to see him again. And this was repeated four or five times or vari…
Interviewer: They had been in the demonstrations, was that the reason?
No, they were students at Kent.
Interviewer: Right. OK, that was the stigma.
There was nothing specific about it at all. My children—in fact, my daughter was telling me the other day that they sent the kids home—my daughter would have been five or six at that point—and they sent all the kids home from Kindergarten on a bus. She was terrified, she thought the nuclear war had begun. Both my kids were not allowed to play by—with any of their friends simply because they were children of someone who worked at the University. My wife reminded me last night that they were both stoned at one point by other children. In fact, William got hurt—quite nasty cut from a stone. It's the only period in my life when I've realized that I would be sitting in my living room and suddenly realize I was in the line of sight from the window and move. And I don't think I'm usually a paranoid kind of a person. I got no mail for six weeks after the shootings. I didn't even get bills.
Interviewer: I don't remember that, that's interesting.
But you see, I'd been arrested in England. And I suspect that any checklist would throw me out as someone to be careful of.
Interviewer: In England, during a smarmy demonstration, would you have expected—how did… well the police in England didn't carry guns?
The police in England didn't carry weapons. The situation's altogether different. It was rather hairy outside the Cuban Embassy because that was not an organized demonstration, that was a spontaneous gathering of people. The other demonstrations I was in it was very much policeman would say you're obstructing the path if you don't move we have to arrest you. I would say, "OK, arrest me." They would say, well, you know, "You've got a book there, you'd better pick it up. Mind your leg, it might get hurt." Very straightforward: I'm demonstrating, they're arresting, we understand their roles, there's no venom in this. That is not the situation at Kent.
Interviewer: Yes, and that's very important to put down, yes.
Not the situation at all. I've noticed a lot in the papers about the helicopters coming over. I remember on the radio the talk of the student column going through the tunnels onto campus and going through the sewers out to burn Clarkins. Do you remember that? There are no sewers that go out to Clarkins, but this was reported authoritatively with news briefs and the police were trying to check to find out how far they'd got. Total paranoia. I remember going downtown; I've never had as many people—long-haired hippies—ask to buy me a drink in my life. People I had never seen before, wanted to talk to me, wanted to buy me drinks. I suppose they could have been lonely returning students, but one certainly felt they were FBI. I remember walking down Main Street and having a gentleman sitting on his porch in a rocker, train his shotgun on me, follow me as I walked down the street, not doing anything, but very clearly pointing the gun and keeping it there. After all that, of course, we had these groups of faculty and business people get together. I was involved in one of those. We had the strange situation of teaching the University but not being allowed on campus. Not even being allowed to hold a faculty meeting in Kent. So, working on my front lawn and trying to do sculpture. I had a show coming up two weeks after the shootings in a now defunct and not very prestigious gallery in Fairlawn called the—it was in the foyer of a cinema—I suppose it was called the Fairlawn Art Gallery that was curated by Charles Walker. How times change! And I tried to call the show off because there was no way I wanted to show ordinary sculpture. But it had been scheduled, announcements had been printed, and they couldn't do that. And I made a whole series of vacuum-formed sculptures with sort of fragments, a lot of simulated blood, some writing—very gruesome things that were all shown in this show and just about all given away to students afterwards. In fact, I tried to see if I couldn't find one recently for the art show for it, but I know I kept a couple and I think they must be somewhere in England, and I couldn't locate any.
As luck would have it, recently, the last two or three days, one has started to meet faces. Not students I knew, but faces that—that you remember. And I've spent some time up by the memorial and it's a very emotional time. It's very strange with people coming back. There's a Vietnam veteran up there this morning that told me he's brought a flag to leave by the memorial.
I'm not sure I really need to say any more.

A serving, Asian, British Airways captain and a one-time BA captain have written to the The Independent following its front-page story at the weekend alleging racism on the flight-deck. full text below also.

Emirates blasts through $1 billion profit
Rumours have been around for a few weeks that Emirates would crack the $1 billion profit mark this year – not so difficult given the dollar's decline, but in fact the figure announced this morning is $1.45 billion net.
New capital finally gets Silverjet stock moving
Even the demise of both its head-to-head competitors failed to shift the ailing shares of UK-US all-premium carrier Silverjet – but this morning it announced a MoU with an unidentified UAE investor and at time of writing the stock is 19% up on the day. If confirmed, the deal will provide about $8 million in […]
Silverjet is last man standing in US-UK all-premium war
The collapse of Eos, which followed Maxjet's earlier demise, has left Silverjet as the sole survivor of the trio that have battled to secure a viable business model in the elusive all-premium US-UK market. And the two big questions now are: who will end up owning Silverjet and can they make it work?
Aviation & Environment Summit
The reason I've had a couple of weeks of blogging silence here is partly that I was on vacation but also because I then attended the third Aviation & Environment Summit in Geneva. I blogged from there on our Aviation and the Environment blog, which you may care to take a look at.
British Airways' tough weekend in the UK newspapers
Coincidentally it would seem, British Airways found itself front page news – not in a good way – on both Saturday and Sunday this last weekend. Quite odd stories in both cases. On Saturday the ever-so-serious Independent reported the allegations of 777 captain Doug Maughan claiming that casual racism is rife at the airline, mainly […]
British Airways pilots kick Willie while he's down
Interesting days for students of airline labour relations. BALPA is taking the opportunity to kick Willie Walsh while he's down. The timing of this video of their march at Heathrow a few weeks back is probably coincidental, but the issuance of this open letter to financial institutions is most certainly not.
We're still podcasting
I joined colleague David Field of Airline Business magazine again for another podcast hosted by Addison Schonland of IAG. We talked about Aloha, Alitalia, T5, and US groundings among other things. Take a listen – and try some of the other pods that Addison has done.
Ladies & gentlemen please, please, fasten your seatbelts
Like everyone else who has anything to do with aviation I get asked: so what's your hot safety tip? People generally seem to want to know should you sit towards the rear, over the wing, near the exits – and so on. I tell them I have one tip above all else: stay strapped in.
ATA goes Chapter 11; Transport Workers go into denial
ATA Airlines has gone into Chapter 11 overnight – the US charter specialist is citing the unexpected loss of a large military contract and general trading conditions including the "tremendous spike" in the price of fuel. Its 29 aircraft are on the ground; 2,300 staff are out of work; and 10,000 passengers a day are […]

Full Definition of TEFLON
Rhymes with TEFLON
trademark \ˈtef-ˌlän\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of TEFLON
(Concise Encyclopedia)Trademark for a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene fluorocarbon (polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE]). Teflon is a tough, waxy, nonflammable organic compound with a slippery surface, attacked by very few chemicals and stable over a wide temperature range. Its qualities make it useful in gaskets, bearings, container and pipe linings, electrical insulation, parts for valves and pumps used for corrosive fluids, and protective nonstick coatings on cooking utensils, saw blades, and other articles. A closely related fluorocarbon polymer, fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP), has properties and applications similar to those of Teflon.

reviews & comments (39)
Took the suggestion and made these as rolls. They were wonderful. Will certainly make again and again. By the way, it wasn't that long ago you could look to a recipe's reviews for suggestions on adapting the recipe, suggested improvements, etc. Nowadays the reviews have taken on more of a chat room feel. I'm sorry to see that happen.
I made this recipe and shaped it into small dinner rolls for a luncheon that I had a few weeks ago. Everyone thought that they were delicious. I am making them again this weekend for my husband's birthday party. I have not tried it as loaves but I'm sure it would be delicious also.
Hey cook from Florida - quit complaining and I didn't see you rating the recipe ;-)
To cook from Boston: Sponge phase is not necessary for this bread. Added rise time will give flavor, but even that can be altered. Use sponges for doughs that don't contain eggs or fats. They need the fermentation for flavor and texture.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Jazz Brunch Buffet at the Court of Two Sisters Restaurant. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.

Very good food, Jazz music really made you feel like you were in New Orleans. Lovely restaurant.
Good food, and plenty of it, everything from shrimp to eggs to desserts, well worth the money. Also really great waitress that took care of us.
This tour was amazing!
This is a must for your to do/to see list when you visit New Orleans. It was VERY romantic, the food was fantastic, and the jazz trio was wonderful.
I would recommend this to anyone visiting New Orleans. I wanted to experience the feel of New Orleans and to hear some jazz at the same time. They made it happen. The food was delicious and the service the best. I felt like I was in old New Orleans experiencing jazz. The restaurant setting is perfect. You will not be disappointed.
Excellent food and service. Many choices were available at Buffet. Enjoyed the courtyard setting on a beautiful , sunny morning. Arrived about 9:30, and avoided lines.
Omg wonderful !!!! Everything was great!!!! Food outstanding!!
Love this tour simply because it was all the foods of New Orleans in one place. The atmosphere was a real southern feel. This was especially so because there was a group of women dining near us that were from a stitching club and were wearing their fancy big hats and gloves and dresses. The staff was kind and courteous and very friendly. There is a history to this facility which is summed up on the back of the fans that we were given to take home as a souvenir. Make sure to make a reservation and enjoy not only the food but the beauty of the inside and the gardens outside.
Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic food. Wonderful service. Will go back for sure !!!
Ate there 50 years ago on our honeymoon and found the place just as good. Food great with good service.
This was a really wonderful experience. Great Music and Fabulous Food - what more could you want? Once inside the Restaurant (what a unique setting) the staff were fantastic - explaining the foods and describing the full buffet selection protocol. Take your time, enjoy the ambience and try all of the unique Creole food.The reception staff were a bit vague but then again it was the coldest day in New Orleans in a very long time (3c).
Not to be missed as it's also right in the heart of things - I'd confirm though, it gets really busy. :D
This was our first tour in New Orleans.
We wanted to experience a sampling of traditional dishes so we would know what to order during our
week long stay. Because it was cool we were unable to sit out on the shady patio.
Probably better to book this earlier than November but it still was lovely inside and the food was amazing!
The restaurant is lovely. The outdoor seating is the only way to go. The buffet brunch was incredible. An amazing selection of food. My only complaint was that we were too far from the live jazz...it could have been louder.
Jan P
Great food and great music. We were 45 minutes late due to a trolley issue and they were still able to seat our large party at tables in one area. This was second time there and I'm sure I'll be back.

Seeing as how I'm a big fan of MMA (mixed martials arts), and have become a fan of legendary Miami-based street fighter turned Professional
MMA Fighter – Kimbo Slice – I was glued to the TV last Saturday night to watch him make his first live UFC appearance against Houston "The Assassin" Alexander.
If you're not up to speed with Kimbo and Houston, check out this pre-fight promo video:
Kimbo Slice vs Houston Alexander promo video
The Kimbo v Houston fight was set up to be a battle between brawlers, each armed with one-hit knockout power. Sadly, the fight didn't end up nearly as intense or entertaining as it should/could have been.
To say that I (and millions others) were disappointed with the performance (or lack thereof) of Houston Alexander is an understatement. Houston spent practically ALL or round 1 and much of round 3 shuffling counter-clockwise around the ring. Of course I can't say what was going on in his head, but it sure seemed as if Houston was simply scared of Kimbo's knockout power.
Kimbo was not as ferocious as I had hoped he would be either, but he seemed ready to fight and even egged Houston on in an effort to get him to stand toe-to-toe and scrap. But Houston would have none of it which, you could easily tell, aggravated Slice.
I'll summarize Kimbo's unanimous victory this way: Kimbo looked much improved over his loss on The UFC's Ultimate Fighter reality show, but he still has quite a bit of work to do. Although his stand up (boxing) game is great and his ground game is now decent, he still has to learn how to do things like defend leg kicks… and throw leg kicks for that matter. I also think he needs to mentally relax a bit and let his normal ferocity come
out more.
But for Kimbo to beat an MMA veteran like Houston Alexander certainly legitimizes his quest to become a legitimate MMA fighter.
Whether you love Kimbo or hate him, you gotta respect the guy for humbly recognizing his flaws and working as hard as possible to become the best he can.
Dr Clay

continued "The article has generated so much conversation, blog postings, diner chat and bar talk," said Folwell, whose magazine published the piece. "We thought that we should take this on the road."
Fish started her remarks by asking the audience if there was any who felt that the Adirondack Park economy could not be transformed or improved, to which no one responded.
"I think that it is time for the gloom and doom attitudes that we find — just, let's be done with that," Fish said. "A negative attitude can really impede change. There are a lot of good things that are happening here, and we, as Adirondackers, do not let challenges get in our way."
LaValley said that he felt that there needed to be a balance between the protection of the environmental assets and the human assets.
"If I were a teacher, I would give us an A-plus in the ways that we have protected and developed the natural ecosystem of the park," said LaValley, who also operates LaValley Real Estate offices in Tupper Lake, Potsdam and Malone. "I would give a failing grade in the protection and development of the human ecosystem in the park. So many are looking for new development."
A "new development" is something that Herman said he is looking into by doing a study of the region.
"One idea that we see is a closed-loop economy," Herman said. "That way, more of the money that is spent here in the park stays here."
Herman and Fish both pointed at thermal bio-mass industry as a way to promote closed-loop economics and growth within the park.
"If you want young people to stay here, you have to put out ideas that will appeal to them," Herman said, adding that he felt another way to help the region would be the creation of an Adirondack County.

One is the child of Holocaust survivors who grew up in the South Bronx. The other is the son of professional musicians who spent most of his childhood in Lake Charles, La.
One started out in law enforcement, working in counter-intelligence for the FBI, and eventually entered politics, becoming an operative for two New York Republicans, U.S. Sen. Alfonse D'Amato and Gov. George Pataki. The other became an award-winning playwright, looking with an artist's sensibility at the experiences of minorities, including Jews, gays and blacks, as well as such themes as human imperfection.
One, now working for a wealth-management firm and living in Great Neck, L.I., speaks in blunt, forceful terms and attends an Orthodox shul mostly to avoid the liberal politics associated with other synagogues. The other may be the epitome of the classic urban intellectual — gifted, intense, voluble and engaged in a permanent wrestling match over what it means to be gay, Jewish and American.
In many ways, Jeffrey Wiesenfeld, the former political operative, and Tony Kushner, the playwright two years his senior, are polar opposites, sharing little in common outside their passion and Jewishness. And so, too, are the outlooks they represent on Israel — worldviews that collided publicly last week, drawing attention far beyond the Jewish world.
The clash began at a May 2 meeting of the City University of New York's Board of Trustees, where members were scheduled to consider a slate of 40 honorary-degree candidates nominated by CUNY's schools and colleges.
The recommendations are normally rubber-stamped by the board, and no one expected anything different at the start of last week's meeting. But Wiesenfeld, a board member of several Jewish organizations and a well-known activist in conservative circles, launched an attack on Kushner, whose name had been submitted by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Wiesenfeld focused on Kushner's Israel views, quoting comments in which the playwright claimed that Israel's founding was based on a program of "ethnic cleansing" and branded the creation of a Jewish state a "mistake." The criticism eventually led to a 10-2 vote by the board to postpone any consideration of the honor — the first time in CUNY's history that such an action was taken, university officials say, and a move that seemed to effectively kill the degree.
But the board's action, first reported by The Jewish Week on its website, sparked days of mounting pressure on CUNY officials from the university's own faculty members, members of the arts community, public figures and the playwright himself. In his own letter to the board, Kushner said that Wiesenfeld's presentation "grotesquely mischaracterized" his views on Israel and that the quotes he offered were selective and taken out of context. Other letters came from former Mayor Edward Koch, who called for Wiesenfeld's "resignation or removal," and from past honorary-degree recipients who wanted to return their awards.
Finally, the board's executive committee met Monday night in a hastily convened session to approve an honorary degree for Kushner, reversing the action it took a week earlier. The session was called by Benno Schmidt, the board's chairman, who, in a statement last week, said the trustees had made "a mistake in principle" by failing to divorce politics from the award of an honorary degree.
While the board's reversal may have mitigated the controversy for CUNY, the whole affair brought into sharp relief two Jewish outlooks on Israel — one fiercely nationalistic and rooted in the Holocaust; the other, fiercely progressive and rooted in the ideals of democracy.
In doing so, it touched off a kind of communal soul-searching over how much dissent on Israel can be tolerated in public, especially at a time when the Jewish state's standing in the world is seen as particularly vulnerable amid widespread efforts to demonize it.
The soul-searching also extended to the tactics employed by Wiesenfeld, who, along with Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn), launched a similar attack just three months ago on a Brooklyn College instructor whose views on Israel they considered beyond the pale. In a foreshadowing of the CUNY episode, Brooklyn College officials initially fired the adjunct professor, only to rehire him a few days later after an outcry from the academic community.
For some observers, such as Brandeis University's Jonathan Sarna, the episode is one indication among many that the boundaries of acceptable debate on Israel are changing among American Jews. Some in the community would argue that support for J Street, the Washington-based lobbying group that calls itself pro-Israel and pro-peace, "would put you over the line," said Sarna, a professor of history and the author of "American Judaism: A History."
Other Jews argue that harsh language crosses the line, he added, while still others contend that support for the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions, or BDS, campaign against Israel can't be accepted. (Kushner says he opposes the BDS campaign, but he's an adviser to Jewish Voice for Peace, a group that supports boycotting goods and services produced by Jewish settlements in the West Bank. It's a position that appalls some, including Wiesenfeld, as much as the global BDS campaign, which makes no distinction between Israel and the occupied territories.)
Sarna, however, believes that none of those standards has won a consensus from American Jews, saying that, as a result, "no one knows any longer what the boundaries" of legitimate dissent are. At one point, he noted, the Jewish community followed whatever positions the Israeli government had adopted — the standard established by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. "But that rule," he added, "no longer holds."
The professor sees three possibilities for a new standard — "anything goes," on the left side of the spectrum; whatever's open to debate among Israelis themselves, a middle course; and the Israeli government's position, on the right side of the spectrum. But until a new consensus develops, he said, we should expect to see additional ad hominem attacks, in which a person's motives or character are assaulted rather than the position he takes.
Other observers, such as author and Fordham University law professor Thane Rosenbaum, believe that a consensus of sorts still holds in the Jewish community.
"I'm not a pollster, but I think there's a widespread impulse in the mainstream diaspora not to speak out" on troublesome or contentious issues that are perceived to be in the family, said Rosenbaum, a novelist and essayist who has written extensively on the Holocaust and human rights.
Rosenbaum is a close friend of Kushner and has argued with the playwright over some of his more left-wing views. But he believes that most American Jews would agree with Wiesenfeld on the use of terms like "ethnic cleansing," which "is like the 'N' word in the Jewish community. … We're all the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Holocaust," he said, "and when you use the term 'ethnic cleansing,' you're conflating Israel with the worst tragedy in Jewish history."
For his part, Kushner has argued that he's only followed the lead of Israeli historians, including Benny Morris, who has written about instances during Israel's War of Independence in which Arabs fled their communities, either of their own volition or because they were pushed out. Morris, however, has since changed his analysis, viewing Arab motives as more sinister and anti-Semitic than he originally concluded.
Blu Greenberg, a prominent writer and Orthodox feminist, agrees with Rosenbaum that most American Jews who care about Israel would lean more toward Wiesenfeld's position than to Kushner's. Kushner, she said, "overlooks the fact that Israel has had to fight for its life every single day of the past 63 years, doing battle in four wars it did not initiate just to keep a finger in the dike."
Views vary, though, on whether Kushner should or shouldn't receive an honorary degree.
For several right-wing publications and organizations, fiercely anti-Israel views are legitimate grounds for barring someone from an honorary degree. The Zionist Organization of America unsuccessfully opposed an honorary degree to Kushner five years ago at Brandeis University.
Others, including some for whom Kushner's views on Israel are anathema, strongly objected to that way of thinking. Greenberg, for instance, said that as sorry as she was to learn that Kushner was nominated for a degree, she hopes that, had she been a CUNY board member, "I would have had the balanced wisdom to make the central point others are now making — that we live, thank God, in a society where free speech and differing opinions are subjects of debate, not punishment."
"I think Jeff stirred up a hornet's nest," said Gilbert Kahn, a political science professor at Kean University. Wiesenfeld's statement gave "an incomplete picture" of Kushner's views, at the very minimum, Kahn said, and it's probably diminished his role on CUNY's board "to the point that he can no longer contribute [to that body] effectively."
Meanwhile, like others, Kahn pointed out that, whatever Kushner's views on Israel, the playwright "is not an unidentified, detached, secular Jew. This is a person who identifies very much as a Jew."
Speaking of both men involved in last week's collision, Rosenbaum said that one, Wiesenfeld, "is playing the role of a Jewish patriot," while the other, Kushner, "is a Jewish artist."
In effect, Rosenbaum said, Wiesenfeld is asking, "What are you doing airing our dirty laundry? Why are you shining a light only on Jews and not Muslims?" But Kushner is engaged in "essentially a Jewish struggle. He's writing about his and his own people's imperfection. He doesn't know Muslims; he only knows Jews."

Where do I begin. Initially to ignore the jew bating antisemites. The argument is basically one of academic freedom. One cane express an opinion and that view can be debated in an open forum. As far as bring presented with the honorary award: politics should not be an issue. The artists work is first and foremost to be considered.
'Is he talking about the 80% of us who voted for President Obama? He can do without all of us? He'd rather have "good Christians" like Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee than 80% of the American Jewish population? Oy.'
Actually it was 77% and many i know admit it was a mistake and say they will not vote for Obama again.Now about Good Christians like Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee i would put the amount at about 60% of so called Jews.And yes i rather be with Good Christians and leftists Jews
When the chips are down, and goyem are coming up the road to kill you, don't call Tony Kushner to help.
The more I read about Wiesenfeld, the more I see that he is as much of an extremist as Kushner, just on different ends of the ideological spectrum (and without Kushner's artistry). This quote in his interview with The Jewish Press rbothered me: "It's a tragedy to tell you that we could do without 80 percent of the Jews. It's the good Christians who stand up for Israel and for us. It's a very sad thing for me to say." It's a very sad thing for me to read. Is he talking about the 80% of us who voted for President Obama? He can do without all of us? He'd rather have "good Christians" like Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee than 80% of the American Jewish population? Oy.
This "analysis" epitomizes misleading moral and intellectual equivalence between those who actually know what they're speaking about (Wiesenfeld) and those who parrot Left-Palestinian memes (Kushner).
I love Blu Greenberg and respect her opinion and statement that despite her disagreement with Tony Kushner's statements on Israel, she would have probably voted to approve the honorary degree once it had been proposed. But I'm not so sure that she and Thane Rosenbaum are right that most American Jews would side with Wiesenfeld over Kushner if they had all the facts. Like them, I disagree strongly with Kushner's statements about the founding of Israel and his "ethnic cleansing" statement. However, as an American who believes in free speech and debate and who also recognizes that there is a long tradition of debate in Jewish history (See Talmud), I say "let him speak" and the cure for speech with which you don't agree is more speech, not the witholding of honorary degrees to Pulitzer Prize winning playwrights. On the hand, the more I learn about Wiesenfeld -- from his anti-Obama bumper sticker to his antipathy for "liberals" to his support for some of the most extreme settlement groups to his obnoxiously racist statements about Palestinians in the New York Times to his very heavy-handed wielding of his power as a Trustee of CUNY to advance a right wing agenda, the more I think that most Jewish Americans (remember @ 80% of us voted for Obama!) might not side with him. I am curious about what Wiesenfeld thinks of Rabbi Rick Jacobs, whose support for Israel seems to me to be very strong (including an apartment in Jerusalem and summers at the Hartman Institute). Maybe someone can ask Wiesenfeld about this in an interview. I feel that there is a growing silent majority of Jewish Americans, particularly those under 50, who are neither in the Wiesenfeld camp, nor the Kushner camp but somewhere in between Jeffrey Goldberg on the moderate right and Peter Beinart on the moderate left. We love and support Israel but we don't love Netanyahu's policies (any more than we loved Dick Cheney) and we are increasingly frustrated by the Jewish right wing's efforts to tell us how to think. As Beinart has written, this may also be a generational shift but rather than shutting people like Kushner or J Street's Jeremy Ben Ami out of the tent because you disagree with what they say, it seems to me that it makes sense to invite them in and debate/dialogue. That's the Jewish tradition.
I think this last line, which tries to say it all, in fact, fully misses the point. I don't believe Kushner really even knows Jews either. He bases his opinions on baseless ideals without fully understanding or engaging in Israeli history.
And as far as the previous comment by "anonymous", is the United States delegitimized because we do not "rein in" Louis Farakon or David Duke, or Rev. Jeremiah Wright? Or is Spain delegitimized because 70% of them say that the Jews caused the economic crisis, or is most of the Arab society delegitimized because they believe in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as the way to view Jews. Only Israel as a whole has the ability to be delegitimized because of the comments of a few extremists. The world has a double standard when it views Israel and more often than not delegitimization comes from self-hating and apologist Jews.
I used to support Israel but not any longer. Israel"s government has been taken over by religious fanatics that more than match the ayatollahs. When former Chief Rabbi Yosef, leader of the Shaa Party in the government, claims that non-Jews were created, like donkeys, to serve the Jews and the governments silence on his claims is quite telling. Can you imagine the uproar in the US if John Boehner claimed that non-Christians were created, like donkeys, to serve the Christians. Rabbis wrte books like "Torat Hamelech" which is a justification for Jews to kill non-Jews and even their babies pre-emptively since non-Jews are born "uncompassionate". Other Rabbis call for the anihilation of all Arabs, using Palestinian children as human shields and the settlers teach their children that non-Jews. Unless Israel reins in these fanatics Israel will be totally delegitimized because the world is noticing. The settlers have become a huge liability with their racist views and actions such as "price tag" attacks. People lika Wiesenfeld are not going to be able to silence Israels detractors.
